The options page explains how to change the dots at the bottom to digits.

Thanks for your reply

Out of interest, do you know if this slider allows you to replace <img> with <div> ?

I'm sure that would be fine, as the script acts on the <li>s rather than on the images. The bxSlider site must have been updated recently. The previous examples had text along with images inside each <li>. I don't see any reason why that can't still be done.
